Home insurance is a valuable safeguard that protects millions of households each year from damage caused by fire, flooding, storms and theft.
Policies can be arranged to cover buildings only or to include internal contents and belongings.
Most mortgage providers will insist on having adequate buildings insurance in place before completion.
Optional extras can also be added. These include things such as accidental damage, home emergency and legal expenses.
Taking out a new mortgage is an ideal time to review your insurance policies, ensuring these are suitable for your circumstances.
